OverWatch - Installation - Genie Gen5 (OLD Pre 2022 Harness) - Installation Instructions

Notes
This Tech Doc was written to help customers with very old Genie Gen5 installations

The latest version of the Genie Gen 5 kit utilises a daughter board with spring loaded contacts that connect to the Genie control board. As we no longer publish or maintain an installation manual for this version kit, it is being published as a Tech Doc here for those customers that still have this old kit version in service.
​
Please note that the Software Version 9 update is not compatible with the Pre 2022 harness in this old kit. You will need to update your harness in order to update your software.
